The Suiciders

During the first decade of the second millennium, a group of seven
friends -- Zach, Lukas, Adam, Matthew, Peter, Arnold, and Taylor --
occupy an indeterminate house in an unidentified American suburb and
replay a continuous loop of eternal exile and youth. Permanently in
their late teens, the seven young men are as fluid and mutable ciphers,
although endowed with highly reflexive, and wholly generic, internal
lives. "Once you learn how to love, you will also learn how to mutilate
it... I want to feel so free you can't even imagine... Let's get out
there and eat some popsicles. There is work to be done." Eventually,
the group decides to remove themselves from the safe confines of the
house and to embark upon a road trip to the end of the world with their
friend, the Whore, and their pet parrot, Jesus H. Christ. The Suiciders is their legacy.

Chronicling the last days of a religious cult in rural America, Jeppesen's debut novel Victims was praised by the Village Voice for its "artfully fractured vision of memory and escape," and by Punk Planet for its masterful balance of "the laconic speech of teenagers with philosophical density." In T he Suiciders,
Jeppesen ventures beyond any notion of fixed identity. The result is a
dazzling, perversely accurate portrait of American life in the new
century, conveyed as a post-punk nouveau roman."
